Post-Match Reactions
“If I had to do it again I'd do it all the same way. As the Dutch coach, when the equaliser is scored I am always going to be scolded for the fact I chose five defenders. But we gave away much less against a team that was stronger than Sweden and Tunisia.”Source: Goal.com
“Morocco has gained everybody's respect now. It's not because of what we've said. We've now shown it. We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match.”Source: TimesLIVE/Reuters
